seg6: fix the iif in the IPv6 socket control block

Browse Source 
When an IPv4 packet is received, the ip_rcv_core(...) sets the receiving
interface index into the IPv4 socket control block (v5.16-rc4,
net/ipv4/ip_input.c line 510):

    IPCB(skb)->iif = skb->skb_iif;

If that IPv4 packet is meant to be encapsulated in an outer IPv6+SRH
header, the seg6_do_srh_encap(...) performs the required encapsulation.
In this case, the seg6_do_srh_encap function clears the IPv6 socket control
block (v5.16-rc4 net/ipv6/seg6_iptunnel.c line 163):

    memset(IP6CB(skb), 0, sizeof(*IP6CB(skb)));

The memset(...) was introduced in commit ef489749aa ("ipv6: sr: clear
IP6CB(skb) on SRH ip4ip6 encapsulation") a long time ago (2019-01-29).

Since the IPv6 socket control block and the IPv4 socket control block share
the same memory area (skb->cb), the receiving interface index info is lost
(IP6CB(skb)->iif is set to zero).

As a side effect, that condition triggers a NULL pointer dereference if
commit 0857d6f8c7 ("ipv6: When forwarding count rx stats on the orig
netdev") is applied.

To fix that issue, we set the IP6CB(skb)->iif with the index of the
receiving interface once again.
